Eight Months

Rachel is now 2/3!  We had a fun eighth month with Rachel with the excitement of the holidays.  She is still doing quite well and gets more mobile everyday.  We finally put up the baby gate this week so she does not try to crawl down the stairs.

One of Rachel's favorite things to do these days is to stand up.  She will spend (relatively) long periods of time just standing and playing with her toys.

She also still loves to jump in her jumper (and anywhere else she can find someone to help her jump).  It is kind of hard to capture it in a picture so this is the best I could do.

One of her other favorite things in the world is her big sister kitty Maya.  Whenever she sees Maya, she gets a big smile on her face and sometimes tries to chase after her.  Maya is a very good sport about escaping from Rachel and sometimes she even lets Rachel pull her ears and fur a bit.
